Here is our family’s favorite meal: Bean Burritos. I’m so glad my Austrian-born kids and husband like Mexican food as much as I do!

Bean Burritos ~ Living on CookiesWe make these pretty much every week. Bean Burritos are so fresh and flavorful and deep-down satisfying. Not to mention that this is a great vegetarian meal.

Bean Burritos ~ Living on CookiesThere are a lot of components to burritos but everything is very simple and quick to make Happily, we can get all the ingredients at most supermarkets here. Bean Burritos are perfect for a crowd as each person can build their own custom burrito according to what they prefer. It’s also a lot of fun dipping tortilla chips into the Pico de Gallo, sour cream and Guacamole. So yummy! All in all a delicious, crowd-pleasing, sociable meal!
